Roof Closing then windows opening problem

[Wondermike]

I think its just the sensitivity of the anti-trap...

Yeah I agree with this, my SLK does it quite a lot too but usually only the passenger window.

Mike: Can you only operate the front windows in your SLK (although it also has 4 windows)?

I can but the back ones don't have separate controls. You can use the roof button to lower all 4 and then put the front two back up again. I drive sometime with the roof up but all four windows down.

Windows reset is in order I think.......

1. Turn on the ignition
2. Depress the individual window button until the window is open, then keep it pressed for 5 seconds longer.
3. Depress the window button until it is closed, then release.
4. This should reset the memory on the window.

Same procedure for both windows

Tried this at the weekend. May be coincidence, but the windows work as they should now so far.

Yes, the E89 has 4 windows.

Oh yes - sorry thought yours was a proper Zed - ROADSTER

How dare you class my car as a roadster!!

It's a Coupe with a folding roof I'll have you know!

Yeah, me too. It creates a nice airy feel to the cabin.

PLease accept my humblest but glad the widow fix worked..... coincidence I think not

Mines does that all the time only drivers side though!
No major prob as I just hit the button again till it goes up.
On the 4 window opening I had he SLK for 2 years before I found out 2 quick pulls on the roof button put them down(coupe mode or something)
Same happens with the E89 pull and hold big button behind windo buttons and all 4 go down

Have now operated my roof more than 6 times since doing 'the reset' and all is working fine - strange I wonder what opening and closing the windows does to 'reset' them?

Glad it worked - all computer wizardry

[MikeS]

Have now noticed that when I open the roof if I keep it operating past the roof open position, so that the windows close, that the next time the roof is closed the windows drop again! Then if I 'reset' the windows all works OK..........................

[Breaker]

Mine seem OK still so far!

[MikeS]

Have now been monitoring this for a while and the 'reset' idea if it does anything at all only works for a little while as now my windows are back to opening slightly after I close the roof again. Guess I will have to wait for the response from the dealer for a fix.

Mines still OK so far.

Spoke to the dealer (Vines Gatwick) again today about this issue. They were unable to fix it and raised a technical request with BMW (A 'PUMA') for a fix some weeks ago. They have not yet had a response from BMW and say that is probably because it has not been reported my many other customers, Vines know of one other. Therefore the message has got to be that if we want a fix best we tell our dealers and hence BMW there is a fault.

....... to close all 4 windows.

4 windows....?

I have 4 windows too,..... but only 3 of them go up and down
